...<b>So the next question is...how do you race a 10k?</b><br /><br />You are bang on, it is so hard to race a 10km road race. I still struggle with my 10km races, and I find the key is to focus on staying as mentally tough and focused from the 3 to 7km marks. If that means going out a tad slower in the first few kms, do that. The last 3km till be tougher than any of the others that came before, but knowing the finish is within sight will help.<br /><br />Good luck on your next 10km!Andre LeForthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033451917363948141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-90643044455683855622011-06-14T10:48:24.141-04:002011-06-14T10:48:24.141-04:00I agree- 10K's are hard to find.

My goal for today was just to finish, and I did! Took it nice and easy. It was a great, women-only race with an amazing atmosphere, so I soaked it in (and thankfully it didn't rain on us!)<br />Hope you had a great race, can't wait to read about it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-52466856643992769552011-06-11T14:21:12.340-04:002011-06-11T14:21:12.340-04:00I think tempo pace is a good plan!

I am great at 5ks and have done a few 5 miles, but never a 10k. I am thinking it is like a more painful 5 mile, which for me is still pretty painful, and I love itChristy @ My Dirt Road Anthem: A Runner's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571125963317402377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-17716522143997099022011-06-10T19:29:15.895-04:002011-06-10T19:29:15.895-04:00good luck tomorrow!!

I was just thinking this morning about my 6mi run I have on the training schedule for tomorrow, and how long it's been since I've raced a 10k (not counting one I did in Feb that I ran with my wife to support her on her first 10k). It's my most out-of-date PR by far. Matter of fact, my 15k PR was set at a faster pace than my 10k PR, lol! <br />Anyway, good luck with your race tomorrow!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301626868769352269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-67259068193558538362011-06-10T14:16:23.592-04:002011-06-10T14:16:23.592-04:0010k's are definitely the most difficult.
